- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony: complementary] — Forest Green sits directly opposite #a52eb8 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/forestgreen

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #a52eb8: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
